Excellent musician, excellent instrument, excellent demonstration

Nord is godlike. I could talk about the patches and sounds all day, but the thing that pushes nord over the top and pushes it beyond the competitors, is it's simplistic form of using the keyboard to its fullest potential. There's no needing to learn a computer to get the keyboard to do what you want. Everything is nobs, sliders, and found right before your eyes. Simplistic, beautiful, diverse, and organic.

[@tubedude1973]

Amazing performance. I really love the live tweaking aspect of the nord. It's pure playfulness.

[@pranaytony]

This is the tremendous example of "Having an outstanding tool in an outstanding hand!" I subscribed to your channel few years back only with this video! The sample that you created is Fantabulous - that really feels me like shivering in the coolness! So Cool n So Natural sample you did! This whole video is a cake piece to me! I downloaded n watched several times n now I came here to see once again n felt the same freshness n same coolness! How you are that much perfect bro? You really inspired me a lot n also made me to have a fever of keyboards, synthesizers, workstations...! You are Killer Fant......................astic Brother! Lots of Greetings n Love from The City of Pearls - Hyderabad, Telangana, India!

[@dannyhammondorgan]

amazing! i've played on a nord stage 2 yesterday! it was amazing! really! love that sound of many instruments!

[@PremiumFuelOnly]

I want one and I dont even know how to play the Piano.

[@rakagunawan692]

Buy for me one, i have no money to buy it, instead i have talend to play piano 😢

[@jbass1941]

Musician in the making

[@MaryAnnpianoplayer]

So beautiful, what an intelligent and breathtaking performance....!!!

[@ARDENWILLmusicPRO1]

The beautiful sounds of the piano, organ, strings ... it's realistic! -Very GOOD TOOL keyboard!-Thank you! ------------------- RESPECT.

[@westeringsun7342]

No board has moved me like this one. I've learned a lot about it and feel like there is still so much to figure out. It is my most-used keyboard these days. I love the old gear but this one is just so incredibly versatile for live-gigging. I've never owned a keyboard that could so well-emulate some of my favorite EPs, organs and seriously good-sounding pianos. The synth section is huge and powerful. Crazy-expensive but (for me) worth it. Thank you Sweetwater for 0% financing. Two years of payments to go . . . :) Someday I'll sell off some of my older gear to make up for it. Now off to practice my runs and to shave my head . . .

[@stridepiano69]

It's an extraordinary instrument. My backline company recently bought this for concerts and such and I actually got a chance to try it out. It's really a good instrument and I highly recommend it!

[@leandrogulrt]

Shut up and take my money

[@allthegeardotnet]

Played one of these recently at Guitar Centre in New York. Really lovely, feels like a proper instrument. Saw one guy playing it with a load of the internal effects on a clav sound and an expression pedal triggering the wah - it created an amazing electric guitar sound. Want one.

[@MrTCass]

Love the Demo !! Great job !!

[@ledhec]

wonderful keyboard and demostration player. Congratulations.

[@bengie11355]

You guys make the best keyboards.

[@JokersToxin]

My college has 2 of these and I have to admit they've literally been able to imitate any synth sound from literally any song xD

[@rebeccacaetanokey]

he plays so well

[@Belimamusic]

sounds fantastic!

[@solsol5]

Gracias Dvicio Espectacular recomendación

[@vonkirchof9214]

Com um pianista excelente como este, qualquer piano é ótimo

[@EdwinWachoriTV]

You've shifted my mind from the synthesizer I wanted to grab...Dooe demo

[@EddiTaru]

What a thing of beauty. Gorgeous.

[@AndyMontgomeryPiano]

Just bought this keyboard and I am really impressed...Of course, there are many more nice pads as well which compliment the piano sounds and can be morphed together - totally fantastic - I took the sustain pedal and plugged into the back of the Latch / Rotal input and now it controls the rotary speed by foot! Just a few of the features it has - But to create your own samples - Superb! Also, buying the additional stand makes it look extremely retro and well balanced and secure, Nice one Nord!

[@ernietempest6740]

That piano is to die for amazing.

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

My god! What a beast! Interesting that this little company in Sweden took out Korg, Roland and Yamaha. Now where to find the $4K

[@Racerdew]

From 8:07 onward I entered the cosmos through a tear in my reality-only to unlock the endeavors of my past... It must of been to discover, and thus deem control, of a saucerful of secrets.

[@crebegea]

That's how you make a demo! Melodics and effects, virtuosity and skill.

[@tupatutupatu]

Im so impresed with this guy's abilities and knoledge.

[@Justin_collier]

I really wonder if it’s possible to find a good nord stage 2 at a good price these days

[@RJGODLIFE]

I became a believer at about 8:01. Nice board!

[@alairmeis6442]

Que.... Piano.. e esse tecladista é fora do comum muuuuito bom.

[@pfaprado]

Vangelis at the end! Superb demonstration, I would instantly buy if I had the money :P

[@jjepperson082692]

Those strings and piano though!

[@kyrkbymannen]

Awesome!

[@danedmiston7734]

Finally my local Guitar Center got one of these bad boys in and wow! I was there for over 3 hours and going back today. I have been playing keyboards for 42 years now and have had them all and I will say the Nord is a different animal the samplings are just way better PERIOD and you can tell. After playing the Nord I started playing a Motif XF8 needless to say I was back playing the Nord in no time. I will get me one of these great instruments once I have the cash. If you have never played one of these I give you fair warning for what you are playing now just won't stack up to the Nord.

[@lepaintre123]

Magnifique instrument !!!

[@hillninja]

Love the vangelis part at the end performance

[@sebisman]

I think Im in love with that Piano

[@PGComet]

Holy Shit! This is maybe the best sounding synthesizer I ever heard!

[@randallming7]

I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD SO MUCH I WANT ONE

[@EvertvanIngen]

4:45 I think he likes playing the Nord 2 a little bit too much :D

[@TheViccoTube]

Hahahahahahaha

[@alexanderdelacruz9249]

😂😂😂

[@noobmaster1231]

Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@myrrhsvetlana6859]

great!

[@rakagunawan692]

He is hot guy

[@culltim]

That last demo was so cool. Like a Pink Floyd masterpiece!

[@SeboSalvatore]

why did I watch this vid.. now i got to save for a long time, because I am definitely going to get this sooner or later. amazing piano

[@stevenardianto3653]

Extreme...this is really cool!

[@WhiteSpears]

I watched this video more than a year ago - fascinated by all of the sounds i heard from this instrument I decided to buy one (the Nord Stage 88 EX) for use in my band. I've not once regretted buying it. The quality you get from this bad boy is definitely worth the money. I've made so many sounds on this now. Thank you Nord for creating a decent keyboard haha. Here's one of the most unique sounds i've made on it so far! /watch?v=pMRVcbigVes Enjoy! :)

[@ericwinter4513]

Oh my god I want one. So friggin rad.

[@dactnl]

nice demo

Why am I still watching this considering the Stage 3 is out!? IDK but it's awesome ;)

[@izzycroptik]

I am SO going to get this keyboard.

[@edwinrodolfocampossolis8832]

Beautiful Music ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@forbesn.oyester4523]

this is amazing...

[@aageon]

I've got an Stage 2 Compact, just love it!

[@dasnwortsagen5599]

DX sample is my favoraite sound EVER

[@Scottie_S]

Blade Runner theme at 8.25. Our KB player just purchased one of these and I haven't heard it in the live situation yet, only at rehersals, but it sounds wonderful while practicing!

[@Claviceptic]

Now I just need to learn how to play half as good as that.

Claviceps han pasado dos años. Ya aprendiste algo?

[@marquinhosfuriapop12]

Santos Martínez Verdad

[@Justintjomusic]

Can't buy that :P

[@jackspencer907]

The Nords are the best stage pianos I have ever played. My main keyboard for years has been a previous model of this: Nord Stage EX76. Very, very smart bit of gear. Great demo!

[@raicho20]

I hate the piano sound on them... Sounds forced and synthesized. Nord should stick to making organs and synths.

[@raicho20]

True. That's why I said they should just stick to organs!

[@c3contact123]

the keys look a bit flimsy/ are they weighted like a real piano or do they bounce back quickly?

[@firstimpression9399]

oneTwoThree They are bouncy Like water fall keys on Hammond sk1....Trust me its not the feel you want for piano!!!!!! But if you really like Nord Piano, buy the 61 key...Then you could buy 88 MIDI BOARD and play double over with the pianos on the bottom and the organ and synth keys on the Nord top....This is smart as long as the Nord has Midi...and what don't have midi these days

[@geardemos]

J.J.A Florida The Nord Stage 2 has weighted keys (for the 88 and 76-key version) and the feel is good, playing piano on them is a joy (just try it at a music-store). The Nord Stage 2 compact has waterfall-keys like you described and there is no 61-key Nord Stage available.

[@izzycroptik]

Amazing keyboard! However I would like to know how able it is as a controller to let's say trigger sounds from sound modules. And what about splits? At the moment, I use 2 keyboards at a time (one on top for piano and lead sounds & the other below for big pads) giving me great flexibility but it also means more carrying of equipment and it's not too comfortable to play on the higher keyboard for long hours. Anyone can tell me how well would this keyboard replace my two-keyboard setup? Thanks:)

[@dayetonlarson8477]

WoW!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I'll have to remortgage the house to get it!!!!

[@Audiovolution]

I've been saving for both a Yamaha motif xf and stage 2 for some time. I think the stage 2 is surpassed by none in all areas except the synth section I like better on the motif xf. But I don't want to buy an xf just for pads, are there any videos dedicated to just the stage 2 synth engine? So I can see if its right for me

[@giraffemangaz]

I've just bought one and it is fantastic. All those people on here who say "buy a piano" are obviously used to sitting at home. I am a professional musician who is on the road 48 weeks out of the year and have never been able to get a full size piano on my back when i'm travelling around. Of course an accoustic piano is more natural sounding, but the next best thing to that sound is a NORD STAGE 2. FANTASTICO:)

[@trailkeeper]

I heard the Hammonds analog tone wheels,are nice, how does this compare to the Fairlight?

[@TheATMOSPHERIA]

:) amazing..unbelievable instrument!

[@fredscott6372]

He’s great at what he does

[@JL-wl1bg]

I'm sold.

[@tiaqa]

AAAAHHHH It's so beautifull :)

[@quentinday7293]

I need help on one of the preset sounds. It’s is the 80 pi Layer. I don’t know what I did but it doesn’t sound like the sound it had when I first got it. How to I reset the settings for that sound?

[@FranzWolfKlan]

sounds great..the harmonics are the most real ones...im going to get one right Now...thanks...for the demo....

[@Book5550]

Amazing

[@numanuma20]

I love the synths from this and thank goodness the synths are polyphonic and your get weighted keys.

[@georgeclementep]

A pesar de los años, no te cambio. Buen teclado.

[@danny11darko]

Obj mmyyy goooodnessss!!! Why must this beautiful instrument be so expensive! Something I want to own someday for sure!

[@PierrePradat]

Thank you Frederico for this nice demo video. Do you remember when we met in Beijing a couple of years ago at one of your Nord clinic ? I am still enjoying my Nord Stage 2 EX very much and just posted some videos on my KZbin channel !

[@FedericoSolazzo]

^ _ ^ Yes I remember, Pierre!!

[@vizual06]

great device!

[@dimitrov210]

Yeahh!! The Vangelis part is Blade Runner!! =D Awesome demo,man

[@scottkb2000]

what speakers is he running the Nord through?

[@santiagoesparzamaldonado3125]

sin lugar a dudas, un un keyboard totalmente ecepcional!! excelente totalmente competisimoo!!! yo kiero uno de esos!!

[@mysterio77690]

sounds are very very impressive...

[@DaveDFFA]

It's 3 split I believe, not sure about the controller functions though! I'm sure it's fine regarding it though. Midi triggering should be the same speed and reliability for all keyboards, they're just the controller sending/receiving information

[@JordySimons]

Is it possible to use the sample library on 2 part multitimbral? Or is it only synth with piano or organs with sample banks etc...this might be the solution for me to sell a few nords i have and replace it by the stage 2!

[@solomonjenkins9505]

I gotta say I'm a sucker for those LED ringed knobs...none of my gear has em and it seems it would make it way easier for when using different functions for the knobs and switching back and forth between presets

[@paddlehard5722]

I'm in love.

[@Eltodofull]

It's AWESOME, GREAT, SUPER GOOD, AMAZING and... EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE! :(

[@yabyab]

I want this piano so badly....

[@Fulgore1701]

Disculpe, que precio tiene este piano para colombia?, o en EEUU?

[@Cooperman666ROFL]

I'm guessing the immense amount of views is due to this guy's amazing performance in the beginning of the video? Cause this ain't normal for synth/keyboard stuff.

[@jessecohen1]

this guy is a genius.

[@HaranSenaar]

When he starts playing the song at 8:30, how does he manage to sustain that one arpegiated beat the whole time?

[@mikaelangelosgarage]

WHAT A MACHINE!

[@marthy995]

Hi i wonder one thing. Does Clavia have any instruments sounds in their products (for example nylon guitars etc)? Or is it only the big 4, Kursweil, Korg, Yamaha & Roland that have piano and other instrument all round sounds + synth leads & pads etc?

[@weaponEX]

The final demo - I can't believe that's all coming out of one keyboard.. playing LIVE!

[@isaivelazquez7805]

Its a great instrument!

[@aapddd]

This man is a genius...

[@johnagbozo4639]

Guys I recently had a go at this and I found the keys to be noticeably light, more like a semi weighted keyboard than a fully weighted keyboard. Is that an accurate impression?

[@beatless]

Does anyone know what Brass sample is used around the 4 min mark????

[@MrMewPew]

Is there an option for any of the ones you just listed to record or more specifically loop and playback something that has already been played?

[@SATUTV55]

You are good !!

[@keyboardpiano1234]

very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FarQLoL]

Time to update my Roland E70, Roland G800 and korg i5m, this thing rocks 🤘

[@Isdale]

That thing's a beast :O

[@WhatTheHelicopter98]

Its just hyper confusing and hard to master. I tried it at the music store and the guy didn't even know what some knobs do

[@Isdale]

There's an instruction manual of course. I think if I had 5k for a keyboard it's what I'd buy though.

[@colbalt95]

What The Helicopter (大和美琴) not really if you know how to use a B3 then the organ section will be a breeze for you if you had prior experience with analog synthesizers then it shouldn't be much of a problem and the piano section is laid out for you is a big boy piano for a big boy price and it's going to have some big boy STAGE NOT WORKSHOP features to go along with it

[@peachboy595]

My music teacher gave us a demo on this today!
